The Deloitte researchers admit they can't predict the jobs of the future, but it's likely that the in-demand tasks will require more social interaction, empathy and creativity.

"Machines will take on more repetitive and laborious tasks, but seem no closer to eliminating the need for human labor than at any time in the [past]," they concluded. "We believe that jobs will continue to be created, enhanced and destroyed much as they have in the last 150 years."

This study was first reported by The Guardian.

The report is part of a growing amount of data and research on the topic of tech's impact on jobs.

Amy Webb, a digital media futurist, recently predicted at least eight careers "ripe for disruption" in the next 10 to 20 years.

She called out factory workers and phone operators, but also journalists, lawyers, and financial middle men in the banking, escrow, insurance and mortgage sectors.

A Brookings Institution reportpublished earlier this summer offers another perspective -- that a pattern may not be so clear.

"There is, as yet, essentially no visible relationship between the use of robots and the change in manufacturing employment," the Brookings researchers wrote. They say broader economic factors are at play.
